Age 19

After months of begging her father, King George VI, to let her assist in WWII efforts, Elizabeth joined the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service. Known as Second Subaltern Elizabeth Windsor, she trained in London as a mechanic and military truck driver. Doesn't she look fab in those coveralls?

Age 21

Princess Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten, formerly prince of Greece and Denmark, on November 20, 1947. As this was during the postwar recovery years, their wedding was a relatively modest affair (royally speaking). In fact, Elizabeth famously saved up ration coupons to purchase the material for her wedding dress, a beautiful satin gown designed by Norman Hartnell and encrusted with 10,000 white pearls.

Age 22

Shortly after getting married, the Royal couple welcomed their first child and heir to the throne, Prince Charles. Born on November 14, 1948, the whole country and beyond celebrated the first child born to a British reigning sovereign for over a hundred years. Isn't baby Charles adorable?

Age 27

On 2 June 1953, Queen Elizabeth II was coronated at Westminister Abby. Although she had in fact ascended the throne at the age of 25, upon the death of her father, the coronation was delayed for more than a year because holding such a celebration is traditionally deemed inappropriate during the mourning period. This was the first time that the ceremony was broadcast on television, allowing people from all over the world to observe the spectacle.

Age 31

For many of us, the Queen’s speech at Christmas is as traditional as mince pies. But it wasn’t always so! Here at age 31, we see the young Queen Elizabeth in the very first televised Christmas broadcast filmed at Sandringham House in Norfolk in 1957. She's such a natural!

Age 40

For football fans, the year 1966 will be forever remembered as the (ahem, only) year that England won the World Cup, defeating West Germany 4–2. Queen Elizabeth II was there to congratulate the team and hand over the trophy – which was almost as the same colour as her lovely coat. Well she does love her matching accessories!

Age 51

Watch the Queen's Silver Jubilee, celebrating Her Majesty's 25 years on the throne! On 7 June, 1977, more than one million people line the streets of London to catch a glimpse of the Royal Family on their way to St Paul's for the celebrations. Millions more tuned in to watch on television and many celebrated with their neighbours and friends with themed street parties.

Age 64

In the year 1990, Queen Elizabeth celebrates her mother, Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon, turning 90 years old. How will Queen Elizabeth's birthday celebrations on April 21 compare, we wonder?

Age 71

It was the day we all remember, as the Queen's former daughter-in-law and the 'People's Princess,' as she was so fondly known, is sadly killed in a car crash in Paris. Watch the Queen's moving tribute to Princess Diana one minute into the video below.

Age 83

The Queen welcomes President Obama and the First Lady of the United States to the United Kingdom for a three-day visit.

Age 87

Hurrah! The Queen welcomes another grandchild into her family, Prince George, on 22 July, 2013. What does baby George call the Queen? Gan-Gan! Aww...
